Reasons for Doll Sexuality

For those with straight dolls
-Did you know your doll was going to be straight when you bought him/her?
Yes.

-Did you choose for them to be straight or did they demand or ask to be so?
Both of my DDs are character dolls based on established characters, and I bought them because of that. Both of those characters are involved in heterosexual relationships. I can't say 100% what they prefer, but they're never shown having any involvement with the same sex.

My BJD is nominally straight because I don't really feel like there's any reason to make her otherwise. I don't really sexualize my dolls to begin with so it's a somewhat moot point, but I'll admit that I think she'd be cute paired with a guy.

-Are your dolls straight as opposed to gay or bi due to your own personal beliefs or because of the beliefs of family?
Only in that I'm straight and so it's natural for me to make my dolls straight as well. That's not to say that I'm not totally accepting, it's just not my thing.

-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner whose doll is also straight to hook up with?
Not really. If I find a guy doll I want and I think he and one of my girls make a good-looking couple, maybe I'll say they're one. I'm not really into pairing with another owner's dolls. My girlfriend collects, and if we decided that two of ours should go together, I guess that's OK.

-Are there any sculpts that demand to be straight or do you choose regardless or sculpt?
I don't know about demanding to be straight, but there are certainly sculpts out there that it would be hard for me to imagine as anything but gay. They're not dolls I'd buy, though, so it doesn't really matter.

-Is your doll obviously straight or does thier style suggest otherwise? (a boy that wears pink for example.)
It's kind of hard to be "obviously straight", especially with female dolls. None of them dress like gay stereotypes.

 

For those with Gay dolls
-Did you know your doll was going to be gay when you bought him/her? I had no idea that my doll would be gay! I was planning to buy him a girl to be his girlfriend and everything! It started because everyone kept saying he is very feminine looking. And one day I tried to make him a shirt out of a sock but it ended up being a skirt and he loved it C: And I realized he looked better in female clothing. He felt comfortable and happy in it. Then I went to an anime convention and he picked out a pair of thigh high shiny vinyl boots with rhinestone buckles, so I turn to my boyfriend and I go, "I think he's trying to come out of the closet". He was like, giving me little signs, and he finally I think is gay, and he is also a transvestite. C: It makes him happy because he is originally from the Victorian era and it was illegal to be gay and he had to crossdress in privacy or he'd be thrown in jail! He's so happy that in this day and age he can finally be himself. He still struggles with depression because of his past, and he constantly is afraid it's wrong.
-What draws you to wanting gay dolls? It's not that I wanted him to be gay, I decided they can be whatever gender they wanted, and he "told me" he's gay.
-Do your doll/s cause controversy within your family? If not to they accept it or have you just not told them? They don't know he's gay, but they see him dressing in drag all the time, obviously, they never comment on it.
-Are there certain sculpts that tend to demand to be gay or do you choose all on your own? I choose dolls based on their face and personality I feel he/she has, not based on their sexual orientation.
-Do your dolls reflect something in yourself or is their sexuality completely dependent? No, because I am straight and happy in a hetero relationship. Chaucer's sexuality is independent. C:
-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner whose doll is also gay or bi to hook up with? At the moment Chaucer does not want a lover. He wants to reunite with his twin sister and his brothers and he is too preoccupied to worry about that. Also, in his past his lover was murdered so he is afraid to love again, he feels guilty to find one.
-Did any of your dolls end up being gay even if it was not intended or against your beliefs? Nah, I've always been accepting of anyone's orientation, homosexuality has never bothered me. C: I mean I'm happy to be with a partner of the oposite sex but if couples did the same it's all good. Love has no definition~!
-Are there any people you do not feel comfortable with sharing his/her sexuality with? I don't haha. I openly tell people Chaucer's sexuality. Chaucer is important to me, and if they insult him, they insult me.
-Is your doll gay simply because you are and straight just doesn't appeal to you? Like I said above, I am straight, and Chaucer's sexuality is completely unrelated to my sexual preferences.

 

-Did you know your doll was going to be gay when you bought him/her?
For the most part yes.

-What draws you to wanting gay dolls?
Not all my dolls are gay, so nothing specific.

-Do your doll/s cause controversy within your family? If not to they accept it or have you just not told them?
I have not told any of my family, specifically because my mom said "do NOT make your doll gay." But he is anyway. So if something was said, yes there would be controversy.

-Are there certain sculpts that tend to demand to be gay or do you choose all on your own?
I choose all on my own. Though I agree there are some sculpts that would be hard to portray as straight.

-Do your dolls reflect something in yourself or is their sexuality completely dependent?
It's pretty personal ^^'

-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner whose doll is also gay or bi to hook up with?
I don't feel the 'need' to, but I like to. I have gone both ways, I recently bought my doll Lucien a partner... while my friend owns a doll who is 'also' listed as his partner.

-Did any of your dolls end up being gay even if it was not intended or against your beliefs?
Yes... ):

-Are there any people you do not feel comfortable with sharing his/her sexuality with?
My entire family... and a huge portion of my friends that are not familiar with my hobby.

-Is your doll gay simply because you are and straight just doesn't appeal to you?
Nah :P

 

For those with gay dolls:
1.) Yes.
2.) Well, I love yaoi, for one thing, but that's a bit beside the point. My dolls are based off my novel characters; as an author, I think being homosexual can give someone a really interesting story and assist character development. Not that straight characters can't be interesting, but there's a very intriguing aspect to homosexuality.
3.) No. My dolls' sexuality is a total non-issue here.
4.) It's what the character becomes.
5.) My love for yaoi? Haha.
6.) I would love for him to have one soon, but right now, he's happily single. He hasn't met the right one for him yet, so we're playing it cool.
7.) No.
8.) No.
9.) No.

For those with bi dolls:
1.) In my world, there is no intended sexuality. He just finds both men and women appealing.
2.) Independent.
3.) Again, a non-issue.
4.) No.
5.) No.
6.) I'm sure he'd love to have one. If it happens, it happens.
7.) Right now, I fear for his monogamy VS polyamory internal battle. XD

 

For those with straight dolls
-Did you know your doll was going to be straight when you bought him/her?
Yes, I bought my dolls together as a couple, they are both based of established characters from a roleplaying game

-Did you choose for them to be straight or did they demand or ask to be so?
The particular character I based my doll on is straight because it just felt right to play her like that, so naturally that transferred onto the doll

-Are your dolls straight as opposed to gay or bi due to your own personal beliefs or because of the beliefs of family?
Actually I usually play bisexual characters seeing as I consider myself to be so, but I also do both straight and gay characters, it's usually something that develops naturally

-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner whose doll is also straight to hook up with?
Right after I had ordered my first doll, i got her established partner to go with her

-Are there any sculpts that demand to be straight or do you choose regardless or sculpt?
I don't think you can see on people or dolls' faces what sexual preference they have

-Is your doll obviously straight or does thier style suggest otherwise? (a boy that wears pink for example.)
I don't think their clothing says too much about their sexuality to me, however, they are fantasy characters, so some people might make their own conclusions about the males wearing long robes.

 

For those with gay dolls.

-Did you know your doll was going to be gay when you bought him/her?
Pretty much yes.

-What draws you to wanting gay dolls?
Nothing in particular, while I do enjoy boys love themes it's all a matter of the doll's character when it comes down to their prefferences including their sexual orientation.

-Do your doll/s cause controversy within your family? If not to they accept it or have you just not told them?
No, not really. I haven't bothered most of them with my dolls' backstories because they're not that interested, but I do share some of their stories with my brother and he has no problem with it whatsoever.

-Are there certain sculpts that tend to demand to be gay or do you choose all on your own?
I choose myself.

-Do your dolls reflect something in yourself or is their sexuality completely dependent?
Their sexuality, as mentioned above, is just a matter of character.

-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner whose doll is also gay or bi to hook up with?
My dolls' counterparts lie with my very best friend who share the same story. The only couple that I plan to own both parts myself actually happens to be heterosexual.

-Did any of your dolls end up being gay even if it was not intended or against your beliefs?
One character developed to be gay as he grew up, his orientation at first was pretty much undecided though.

-Are there any people you do not feel comfortable with sharing his/her sexuality with?
Uhh... no? I don't think I mind sharing my dolls' sexuality with people that would like to listen to their story.

-Is your doll gay simply because you are and straight just doesn't appeal to you?
Nope, I'm actually straight.


And to answer to the straight questions as well as I have dolls there also. c:


For those with straight dolls.

-Did you know your doll was going to be straight when you bought him/her?
Like with my gay ones, yes. Very much so.

-Did you choose for them to be straight or did they demand or ask to be so?
I chose them to, I suppose. That's just their character.

-Are your dolls straight as opposed to gay or bi due to your own personal beliefs or because of the beliefs of family?
Nope. It's part of who they are as characters.

-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner whose doll is also straight to hook up with?
Same as above. My best friend owns the counterparts to my own dolls. There's also a couple I plan to own myself.

-Are there any sculpts that demand to be straight or do you choose regardless or sculpt?
I choose regardless of sculpts c:

-Is your doll obviously straight or does thier style suggest otherwise? (a boy that wears pink for example.)
As a matter of fact, one of my dolls is a wholesome crossdresser but is quite straight otherwise! He needs to dress as a girl to supress his inner demon who is to proudful to show face when dressed like that. There's also one other 80cm giant planned who has bubblegum pink hair, dresses in loli shota style but is also straight... (too bad the ladies don't believe him though) My other straight dolls just look the part.

 

For those with straight dolls
-Did you know your doll was going to be straight when you bought him/her?
Yes. all my adult dolls are straight. The children are undecided of course.

-Did you choose for them to be straight or did they demand or ask to be so?
I guess I'd have to say I chose it for them, but none of them were demanding or asking for a same-sex lover, so I suppose in that way they also chose the straight lifestyle for themselves too.

-Are your dolls straight as opposed to gay or bi due to your own personal beliefs or because of the beliefs of family?
No. I am straight, but my dolls are straight because it fits their characters and not because of my sexual orientation. I think it would be interesting to have a pair of gay boy dolls and I have a future plan for a couple.

-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner whose doll is also straight to hook up with?
I have two couples, and I own all four dolls. I don't feel the need to give all my dolls a partner, though. Some of my dolls don't have partners. If I had a doll-collecting friend nearby, I think it might be fun to have one of my dolls hook up with one of theirs, but for right now, I am content with the way things are in my dolls' world (and so are they )

-Are there any sculpts that demand to be straight or do you choose regardless or sculpt?
I don't think there are any sculpts that demand to be straight, gay, bisexual, trans or anything else. I think it depends mostly on the character.

-Is your doll obviously straight or does their style suggest otherwise? (a boy that wears pink for example.)
My boys don't wear pink or dress "like girls" per se. Tyler is the one most likely to wear bright colours, but that's mostly due to his girlfriend's influence. I think all my dolls are obviously straight, but I also think image can be deceiving. I think a style that is "obviously" masculine or feminine is not necessarily indicative of sexual orientation.

 

For those with straight dolls
-Did you know your doll was going to be straight when you bought him/her?
Yes, though it sort of never crossed my mind what his sexuality was.

-Did you choose for them to be straight or did they demand or ask to be so?
It never really crossed my mind, that was just how it was.

-Are your dolls straight as opposed to gay or bi due to your own personal beliefs or because of the beliefs of family?
Nope.

-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner whose doll is also straight to hook up with?
I want to buy a girl doll to fit with Marc's Evil Overlordiness. In my mind...he can't be King or a true overlord without a Queen. But this is just story line/plot for his character.

-Are there any sculpts that demand to be straight or do you choose regardless or sculpt?
I think it's a choice regardless of sculpt.

-Is your doll obviously straight or does thier style suggest otherwise? (a boy that wears pink for example.) Marc is very much straight. Despite the fact that he has to model girl clothes every now and then for swaps. There's not enough male yosd's in the swaps I join. lol (Which is also why I want a female partner for him.)


For those with Gay dolls
-Did you know your doll was going to be gay when you bought him/her?
Yep. He was already a wonderfully, flamboyantly, fabulously gay little resin man. lol

-What draws you to wanting gay dolls?
I am gay...?I'm not sure how to answer this question...lol!

-Do your doll/s cause controversy within your family? If not to they accept it or have you just not told them?
Nope! Though Nicky is referred to as the "little gay boy doll." xD

-Are there certain sculpts that tend to demand to be gay or do you choose all on your own?
I personally don't think so, the doll matched the character I had in mind. If I hadn't had a character in mind I wouldn't have thought anything of it.

-Do your dolls reflect something in yourself or is their sexuality completely dependent?
O.o I don't....think I understand this one...but Nicky reflects a small portion of myself, though it's not dependant...rather he's very independent.


-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner whose doll is also gay or bi to hook up with?
Nicky existed long before his resin incarnation, and is married. My girlfriend will be getting Mr.Hubby. Eventually. These things are expensive, you know.

-Did any of your dolls end up being gay even if it was not intended or against your beliefs?
Uhm....no....? @_@'?

-Are there any people you do not feel comfortable with sharing his/her sexuality with?
People who are uncomfortable with or do not like homosexuality in dolls, are most likely people who will be uncomfortable or have a dislike towards me. I don't surround myself with that, since no good comes of that.

-Is your doll gay simply because you are and straight just doesn't appeal to you?
Nope. I have a straight doll as well. I plan to get both gay and straight dolls when I can afford to buy more. I also plan to have both gay couples and straight couples.

 

For those with straight dolls
-Did you know your doll was going to be straight when you bought him/her?
Yes, I could never imagine them being gay or bi
-Did you choose for them to be straight or did they demand or ask to be so?
It was just never in the cards, I intended to get a boy and a girl and they gravitated towards each other from day 1
-Are your dolls straight as opposed to gay or bi due to your own personal beliefs or because of the beliefs of family?
I am actually gay, I have straight, gay and bisexual friends and in my own personal opinion I think watching an imaginary straight relationship unfold was much more interesting than another gay relationship since I've already seen plenty of them.
-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner whose doll is also straight to hook up with?
The 2nd girl I bought was never intended to have a partner, but when I saw the sculpt of what became my 2nd boy doll I immediately knew he'd be her boyfriend and I bought him with the set intention to make him his boyfriend (although I did wait before I introduced them, sat them together, sent them on their first date and eventually getting them together. They didn't just jump into bed as soon as he got home)
-Are there any sculpts that demand to be straight or do you choose regardless or sculpt?
I guess it's a matter of the sculpt? It is very hard to imagine my girls as lesbians but I've had no trouble imagining my guys as gay or bi...
-Is your doll obviously straight or does thier style suggest otherwise? (a boy that wears pink for example.)
Actually one of my girls does wear boy clothes and she is often wearing a 3 piece suit, but her face, long hair and makeup give her away as a girly girl.

For those with undecided or bi dolls
-Was your doll at first intended to be either gay or straight and neither seemed to fit or were they always going to be bi?
He was meant to be straight, but the further I played with him, the more I wanted him to get a male partner. In a way he demanded it! He is getting one soon.
-Do you feel your doll expresses thing in yourself or is his/her sexuality independent?
I am a gay male (and quite sure of it), but my doll is quite sure he is bi, 50/50 on girl/guy attraction.
-Does your doll cause conflict with friends and family?
No, my friends are all gay friendly and some have gay couples of their own so a bi doll is no big deal.
-Do you ever say your doll is either straight or gay to please someone else or to avoid drama?
He's not really "out" yet, so it has not happened yet.
-Is your doll bi even though it is against your beliefs?
Actually yes. I've never trully believed anyone can be attracted on the same level to boys and girls, yet I can see my guy just as comfortable being with his bf playing videogames or with his gf walking in the park.
-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner to hook up with?
He already has a gf, but he's getting a bf soon... don't ask... I haven't quite figured out how that's gonna work.... he just may be a player and keep them both *gasp!* D:
-Do you feel the need to give your doll both a boy and a girl friend, or does he/her have a single friend and just has feelings for the other gender as well?
See above... I'm not sure yet how this is gonna work out...

 

My two dolls are pretty undecided, I don't have romantic backstories for them yet. But my lady Vegas is a lesbian, because I am a lesbian and I feel the need to have that connection with her as my little punk lesbian XD
If that makes sense~
My other doll will be gay because his OC that he represents has been gay since the moment I created him 12 years ago!

 

-Did you know your doll was going to be straight when you bought him/her?: I had planned for her to be bi, but straight fit her character..
-Did you choose for them to be straight or did they demand or ask to be so?:I chose this.
-Are your dolls straight as opposed to gay or bi due to your own personal beliefs or because of the beliefs of family?:Nope , my next doll's character is bi. I'm all for it.
-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner whose doll is also straight to hook up with?: I have plans to eventually buy a partner but I'd like for her to have a long distance relationship with someone else's doll right now.
-Are there any sculpts that demand to be straight or do you choose regardless or sculpt?: I chose regardless.
-Is your doll obviously straight or does thier style suggest otherwise? (a boy that wears pink for example.): Her style suggests she could go either way.

 

Two of my boys are gay...I knew one was gonna be gay he pretty much brought the other boy along for the ride. Riven was originally going to just be a cross dresser but he shunned that...Mostly. He's a gay boy I love him, my FAMILY loves him and they like Yuichi his boyfriend too...Trust me I got two different couples...One straight and one gay. Yuichi and Riven simply are gay...I tried to pair him with a friend's doll (more so actually got pressured into it because she thought since we were BFF's our dolls whom she picked the same exact mold as Riven even down to blue eyes like him...It was more so uncomfortable and creepy looking having them together) and he pretty much stopped standing even with his stand until I got the message.

 

-Did you know your doll was going to be straight when you bought him/her?
Nope. It wasn't something I thought about much really, and their characters tend to develop after they've got here anyway. I'm just going to lump together my dolls as they have the same orientation.

-Did you choose for them to be straight or did they demand or ask to be so?
Well it was a mixture of both really. The characters suit being straight the best but it was also a case of me wanting both a male and a female doll, and thus it being convinient to pair them up as well. They do seem to look very happy and content when they're together though, and they often 'flop' into a cuddling position when sat next to one another. As daft as it sounds my Ces looked downright depressed a few weeks before Seraphine got here, and he's done nothing but smile since.

-Are your dolls straight as opposed to gay or bi due to your own personal beliefs or because of the beliefs of family?
My family aren't prejudice against people in actual life but they'd probably think it was a bit odd as we're all straight. They'd probably wonder where the idea came from. I've had gay/bi characters before so it's not really beliefs prohibiting anything.

-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner whose doll is also straight to hook up with?
Yes, I do. Ces looked really lonely up there on his shelf and I wanted a girl doll to dress up. I don't think I'd like a partnership where the other doll lived somewhere else, as part of the fun of having a couple (for me) is being able to pose them together when I'm going to be leaving them alone for a while.

-Are there any sculpts that demand to be straight or do you choose regardless or sculpt?
I think the owner's interpretation over rides most kinds of sculpt suggestions 98% of the time.

-Is your doll obviously straight or does thier style suggest otherwise? (a boy that wears pink for example.)
Hmm, I've never really thought about it before. Seraphine is very feminine in her mode of dress but that's nothing to do with her orientation. Ces is mostly masculine but he does like his glam rock boots from time to time

 

For those with straight dolls
-Did you know your doll was going to be straight when you bought him/her?
Yes, though I don't usually give it too much thought.

-Did you choose for them to be straight or did they demand or ask to be so?
Straight is just the default for my dolls, but if they seemed to be gay or bi that's what they would be.

-Are your dolls straight as opposed to gay or bi due to your own personal beliefs or because of the beliefs of family?
I wouldn't say my dolls are straight due to my beliefs. I am a straight female so I would assume my dolls are (so far) automatically straight so I can better interpret and create their personality. I am a Christian but I have nothing against other sexualities and I am not opposed to having a gay or bi doll.

-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner whose doll is also straight to hook up with?
No. I haven't ever bought a partner for my dolls and have no desire to at this time. Maybe in the future.

-Are there any sculpts that demand to be straight or do you choose regardless or sculpt?
I don't think certain sculpts look straight or gay, it's the backstory or the portrayal by the collector.

-Is your doll obviously straight or does their style suggest otherwise? (a boy that wears pink for example.)
One of my boys wears pink and some girly things because I make him clothes out of my old ones. He's like the boy version of myself when I was in high school so I like making him clothes that were like mine

 

-Was your doll at first intended to be either gay or straight and neither seemed to fit or were they always going to be bi?
I have this thought stuck in my head: "No one is straight. There is always hint of gayness in everybody". Anyway I liked that there is possibility.
-Do you feel your doll expresses thing in yourself or is his/her sexuality independent?
She can do whatever she wants. I am not to criticize her. She is adult : D
-Does your doll cause conflict with friends and family?
No
-Do you ever say your doll is either straight or gay to please someone else or to avoid drama?
Never. If somebody does not approve her sexuality then thats that.
-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner to hook up with?
Well not yet. Maybe in future but now she is living carefree companionship to everybody. For now.
-Do you feel the need to give your doll both a boy and a girl friend, or does he/her have a single friend and just has feelings for the other gender as well?
There needs to be girl and boy friends. She is open to everybody.

 

My dolls have no sexuality, mostly because....well they're dolls. I personally can't really fathom the reason as to why I'd give them a sexuality, but that's my own personal preference- I don't even consider my collection a "family". They're just my boys, that's about it.

 

Charlotte is asexual because that's just how she is. It's weird. The doll has been sitting on a shelf for about a year and it's just in the last few weeks she's started to "become" this character. It's one I'd been kicking around for years and for some reason the connection happened very recently. Up to that point, she was just a dressmaker's dummy, essentially. Something to try things on while I was experimenting with knitting small things. I know now that she's nineteen but looks younger, very smart but a high school drop-out, utterly asexual but completely comfortable in everything from really girly stuff to absolutely "macho" stuff. Her best friend is almost 30 years older than she is, and is possibly going to make me break my word on only ever owning one doll.

 

I'll just answer this for Parker.

-Did you know your doll was going to be gay when you bought him/her?
Yeah, because the character he shells is and has always been gay.

-What draws you to wanting gay dolls?
Nothing. Not ALL of my dolls will be gay, because they are shells of my characters, and most of the rest of them are straight (with one asexual boy).

-Do your doll/s cause controversy within your family? If not to they accept it or have you just not told them?
My family lives over 1000 miles away, they don't even know I collect dolls, let alone their sexuality.

-Are there certain sculpts that tend to demand to be gay or do you choose all on your own?
I pick sculpts that best represent my character...I don't think gay has a specific "look", either. So no.

-Do your dolls reflect something in yourself or is their sexuality completely dependent?
My dolls' characteristics are completely independent of mine. It would be really boring if they were all like me?

-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner whose doll is also gay or bi to hook up with?
I want to shell Parker's on and off boyfriend, Jack - I did have a doll for him, but I wasn't feeling the sculpt, so I'm in the process of replacing.

-Did any of your dolls end up being gay even if it was not intended or against your beliefs?
No.

-Are there any people you do not feel comfortable with sharing his/her sexuality with?
I don't think it's relevant to really tell anyone IRL about my dolls or their sexuality. On the internet, I don't really care who knows.

-Is your doll gay simply because you are and straight just doesn't appeal to you?
No.

 

I've been meaning to reply to this for ages ... so far I've got a girlxgirl couple and two straight girls, but there will be guys, too. So far, the only planned guys will be straight.


For those with Gay dolls
-Did you know your doll was going to be gay when you bought him/her?
Yes. My dolls are pre-existing characters so I know that kind of stuff before I shell them.

-What draws you to wanting gay dolls?
I don't know if there is anything in particular. But I have noticed that there are lots of boyXboy BJD couples, so having a girlXgirl couple makes a nice change

-Do your doll/s cause controversy within your family? If not to they accept it or have you just not told them?
I don't think my family knows ... but it definitely wouldn't cause controversy. They're pretty liberal when it comes to that kind of thing, one of my cousins is married to his long-term boyfriend and they know I'm bi, so I'm willing to bet they wouldn't fuss about dolls.

-Are there certain sculpts that tend to demand to be gay or do you choose all on your own?
I don't know ... I try to find the sculpt best suited for my OC in question, their sexuality doesn't really influence that.

-Do your dolls reflect something in yourself or is their sexuality completely dependent?
Maybe they do. I'm bi and with a boy ... maybe they're reflecting my other side, so to speak

-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner whose doll is also gay or bi to hook up with?
One half of my couple is going to be re-shelled, they just don't have the right chemistry. Kind of fatal in that kind of relationship

-Did any of your dolls end up being gay even if it was not intended or against your beliefs?
Not yet.

-Are there any people you do not feel comfortable with sharing his/her sexuality with?
Not really. Usually I don't share much about my dolls' characters simply because no one cares. But if anyone does care, I don't mind them knowing.

-Is your doll gay simply because you are and straight just doesn't appeal to you?
Nope

For those with straight dolls
-Did you know your doll was going to be straight when you bought him/her?
Yep. And her boyfriend is among the next ones to come home (once I get the funds together, those Iple kids are expensive!)

-Did you choose for them to be straight or did they demand or ask to be so?
I chose it, way back when I started writing their story.

-Are your dolls straight as opposed to gay or bi due to your own personal beliefs or because of the beliefs of family?
No.

-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner whose doll is also straight to hook up with?
I will definitely get her partner, he is a part of my "core crew".

-Are there any sculpts that demand to be straight or do you choose regardless or sculpt?
I choose the sculpts that fit my characters. Sexuality is not among my criteria for that.

-Is your doll obviously straight or does thier style suggest otherwise? (a boy that wears pink for example.)
No suggestions in their style, mine are pretty straightforward.

 

For those with straight dolls
-Did you know your doll was going to be straight when you bought him/her?
Yes,based on characters from my stories and fanfics.
-Are your dolls straight as opposed to gay or bi due to your own personal beliefs or because of the beliefs of family?
Not at all. If I had more dolls I would probably have a gay character.
-Do you feel the need to give your doll a partner? If so, do you wish to buy (or already have bought) him/her, or do you find another doll owner whose doll is also straight to hook up with?
I got Dane just so he could be Dahlia's boyfriend from my stories.
-Is your doll obviously straight or does thier style suggest otherwise?
To me he is,but other people might not see it.

For those whose dolls have no sexuality
-Why did you choose to not give them a sexual preference?
One is a tiny elf,and I just don't see elves as sexual.
The other one is a character I'm developing who is an angel or maybe a saint,and I want them to be a purely spiritual being.
-Does your doll have no sexual preference because they just dont, as is the case with some people, or is it your choice?
My choice,and how I see their characters.
-Does your doll have no sexuality because you don't want to give friends and families the wrong impression?
Ha,no. I really don't care what other people think about my dolls and characters.
-Does your doll have no sexuality because you live in a house with young children or are young yourself?
Nope. There aren't any kids around and I'm definitely not young lol.
-Is your doll asexual due to your religious beliefs of any kind?
I would say that I'm spiritual but not religious. I have a lot of issues with spirituality right now,and I think that's probably why I'm creating an angel character.
